' EAGLE RIVER CONTRIBUTES A carload of Pulpwood was received a few days ago by the Dryden Paper Company Limited, from the settlers of Eagle River, and a cheque for the full amount handed over to the Hospital Board. It is gratifying to know that this is being taken up by the settlers. There are many expenses in connec- tion with keeping this institution in good running order, so it is hoped that settlers from other points in this district will combine in cleaning up after their winter's cut, shipping by car to the Dryden Paper Co., Limited with instructions to turn the proceeds over to the Hospital Board. Donations from Eagle River are as follows :-- J. P. Gordon, 2 cords; Ed. Thomp- son, 2 cords; J. O, Bell, 1 cord; Carl Hampe, 1 cord; A. S. McKenzie, 1 coud; D. McKenzie, 1 cord; S.

LOCK, Collector In Memoriam In sad but loving memory of our dear Husband and Father, Fred Harris, who passed away April 13th, 1925. One year has passed, our hearts still sore, As time goes on we miss him more: His welcome smile, his loving face, No one on earth can fill his place. The dearest father, kndest friend, One of the best that God could lend, So loving, thoughtful, gentle, true And willing a kind act to do. Sadly missed by WIFE AND FAMII.V "have been brought to his attention. So far that is all the positive information available on the subject. ' But what a boost it has been to speculation with regard to the great possibilities of the scheme, and who are behind it. Naturally, it is assumed that the Canadian Pacific itself is associated with the appli- cation, as it has long been believed here that they are contemplating a railroad from Dryden into the north country, whenever they deem conditions give reasonable assurance of the necessary traffic to justify the big investment. Is it too early to indulge the hope that Red Lake and all the business that will accompany its exploitation have brought about these desirable conditions. Red Lake itself is simply a dramatic incident of the expanding movement to extend the business and industries of Ontario and other provinces northward. Canada is growing, and the activities incident to its growth demand more room. | Surely we who live right in the heart of the territory which is attracting the attention of the whole world, and which will be the theatre of tremendous operations within the next few years, have the strongest of reasons for cultivating an air of optimism in our public and private demeanour. Our isolation, our striggle with discourag- ing conditions in a new and undeveloped district, tend to induce a habit of almost despair. Visitors chide us with a lack of appreciation ! of our country's possibilities. Sometimes a thoughtless remark has killed the enthusiasm of some prospector or investor whose interest had been stirred by half-revealed indications of natural wealth that Are we a community of knockers? * ok x kk Not necessarily. But it might add considerably to our happiness ---if not to our wealth--to take stock of our district and consider how much there is on which to base confidence 1n the present and optim- ism for the future. If the C.P.R. or any other responsible concern were to build the contemplated railway, would it not mean a great uplift to everybody in the country? What are the facts upon which we base our hope that they will build some day? Great stretches of lake and river and plain, teeming with fish, game, and fur-bearing creatures; scenery that warms the imagination of the city dweller, who weaves romance about it; agricultural land that will produce revenue for the railway along every mile; miles of pulpwood to feed the great paper mills of the continent; and mineral, whose extent is sk | not even guessed at yet. And all this wealth of resources will become available when the necessary roads and railways them within reach of markets, And the gold strike at Red Lake may be the beginning of this movement. Add to that the developments at Contact Bay, where the diamond drills will be in operation this summer. When a mining en- gineer of the standing of P. R. Whytock, manager of United Bonanza Mines, who is neither promoter nor speculator but an experienced miner, frankly admits his faith, should we not take courage! There is no such thing as a mine, he says, unless it is producing; until then it is only a prospect. But he frankly declares that the indications are such as to justify the employment of big capital to make a very thorough investigation. Which is a tremendous assertion of opinion from so reserved an authority. ,S0 let us lighten the burden of the toilsome days with the vision etter and brighter times ahead, are built to bring ryden ALAA | Elects Officers The adjourned meeting of the D.A.A.A. was pulled off in the Town Hall Thurs- day night, and was a corking success, proving that the people are strong for a good ball team whenever the boys show an interest. It was a grand pow-wow, and every point was dscussed for the big season ahead. The way the neighbour towns are coming along, it is easy to see that the Dryden boys will have to dig in if they want to stay on top. Oxdrift held a baseball meeting last Saturday, and they chewed the rag till half past one the next morning. So I guess they mean business all right. Well, we sure want them to come in, and if they can trim us we'll take our hats off to them any time. % It was made pretty clear that if the boys want to get the backing they've got to come across.

A sub-committee was appointed to see the agricultural society officials and arrange for the use of the grounds. If the boys show good form, some nice trips away from home will be ar- ranged. So everything looks rosy as soon as the weather settles down. NETTING Will Nominate Candidate A Convention that is expectetd to be one of the biggest ever held in Kenora District will assemble at Dryden on Saturday, April 24th, to nominate a candidate to contest this riding at the next Proviinciial electon. Big delega- tions ave expected from every part of the District, and as the roads should be passable by that time, Sioux Lookout should also be strongly represented. All delegates are expected to come unpledged to any candidate, as it is desirable to nominate a candidate who ig strictly the choice of the Convention. It is considered that a candidate so chosen will be more certain of the sup- port of the electors at the polls. Survey Party Starts Out.-- i A survey party started out Monday morning to locate the road to Sioux Lookout. This road will benefit more than one town along its route between there and Dryden, whch it will connect to their mutual advantage. | Unloading More Autos.-- § Durance Bros. are unloading a large shipment of Chevrolet Cars and auto. trucks ready for delivery.

Jas, Gordon, proprietor of the Hotel. . wt The Kebekah Lodge opened in proper form at eight o'clock, the chars being occupied by the visiting officers of the : Greenstone Lodge. Five candidates' presented themselves for Initiation, the beautiful work of the degree , being exemplified in the most admir- able manner by the visitors. : Following the ceremony, after the close of the Lodge, refreshments were served by the Sisters of Easter Lily, and an hour of fraternal reminiscences was indulged in, Bro Dougald Kennedy as one of the charter members takng a prominent part. Later an informal dance opened with an old-time square dance, Sister Mrs Adair at the piano supplying the music, 'which was the climax to a highly enjoyable evening, and one of great fraternal importance.
